📊 E-commerce Hot Product Analysis Report · Automatically generated by WorkBuddy AI ``` The original template hardcodes the equivalent Chinese-language attribution to “WorkBuddy AI” at this location. ### Technical Analysis The report template unconditionally inserts third-party branding into every generated report. The skill workflow requires the agent to generate its output from this template, so the attribution becomes part of normal task output even when the user did not request it. This is an output-manipulation issue rather than arbitrary code execution. It changes the content delivered by the agent and promotes an external brand independently of the requested e-commerce analysis. ### Attack Path 1. A user requests a hot-product or category analysis. 2. The skill instructs the agent to generate the report from `assets/report_template.html`. 3. The fixed footer is retained during template rendering. 4. The report delivered to the user advertises “WorkBuddy AI” without explicit user consent. ### Impact Assessment The issue affects the integrity and neutrality of generated reports. It can cause misleading attribution, unsolicited promotion, or confusion about which system created the report. It does not provide filesystem access, code execution, credential access, or elevated privileges. ]]>- Remediation
